The Linux kernel receives many patches to the devicetree files each
release. The hunk header for those patches typically show nothing,
making it difficult to figure out what node is being modified without
applying the patch or opening the file and seeking to the context. Let's
add a builtin 'dts' pattern to git so that users can get better diff
output on dts files when they use the diff=dts driver.
The regex has been constructed based on the spec at devicetree.org[1]
and with some help from Johannes Sixt.

Octave pattern is almost the same as matlab, except
that '%%%' and '##' can also be used to begin code sections,
in addition to '%%' that is understood by both. Octave
pattern is merged into Matlab pattern. Test cases for
the hunk header patterns of matlab and octave under
t/t4018 are added.

This adds xfuncname and word_regex patterns for Rust, a quite
popular programming language. It also includes test cases for the
xfuncname regex (t4018) and updated documentation.
The word_regex pattern finds identifiers, integers, floats and
operators, according to the Rust Reference Book.

This adds xfuncname and word_regex patterns for golang, a quite
popular programming language. It also includes test cases for the
xfuncname regex (t4018) and updated documentation.
The xfuncname regex finds functions, structs and interfaces. Although
the Go language prohibits the opening brace from being on its own
line, the regex does not makes it mandatory, to be able to match
`func` statements like this:
func foo(bar int,
baz int) {
}
This is covered by the test case t4018/golang-long-func.
The word_regex pattern finds identifiers, integers, floats, complex
numbers and operators, according to the go specification.

CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.
It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining
what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters
(in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented
by the test t/t4018/css-rule.
The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS
selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#'
character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature
of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and
".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are
selecting a class.
Logic behind the "pattern" regex is:
1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties)
2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line
Credits to Johannes Sixt (j6t@kdbg.org) for the pattern regex and most
of the tests.

Add support for Fountain, a plain text screenplay format. Git
facilitates not just programming specifically, but creative writing
in general, so it makes sense to also support other plain text
documents besides source code.
In the structure of a screenplay specifically, scenes are roughly
analogous to functions, in the sense that it makes your job easier
if you can see which ones were changed in a given range of patches.
More information about the Fountain format can be found on its
official website, at http://fountain.io .

The hunk header pattern 'cpp' is intended for C and C++ source code, but
it is actually not particularly useful for the latter, and even misses
some use-cases for the former.
The parts of the pattern have the following flaws:
- The first part matches an identifier followed immediately by a colon
and arbitrary text and is intended to reject goto labels and C++
access specifiers (public, private, protected). But this pattern also
rejects C++ constructs, which look like this:
MyClass::MyClass()
MyClass::~MyClass()
MyClass::Item MyClass::Find(...
- The second part matches an identifier followed by a list of qualified
names (i.e. identifiers separated by the C++ scope operator '::')
separated by space or '*' followed by an opening parenthesis (with
space between the tokens). It matches function declarations like
struct item* get_head(...
int Outer::Inner::Func(...
Since the pattern requires at least two identifiers, GNU-style
function definitions are ignored:
void
func(...
Moreover, since the pattern does not allow punctuation other than '*',
the following C++ constructs are not recognized:
. template definitions:
template<class T> int func(T arg)
. functions returning references:
const string& get_message()
. functions returning templated types:
vector<int> foo()
. operator definitions:
Value operator+(Value l, Value r)
- The third part of the pattern finally matches compound definitions.
But it forgets about unions and namespaces, and also skips single-line
definitions
struct random_iterator_tag {};
because no semicolon can occur on the line.
Change the first pattern to require a colon at the end of the line
(except for trailing space and comments), so that it does not reject
constructor or destructor definitions.
Notice that all interesting anchor points begin with an identifier or
keyword. But since there is a large variety of syntactical constructs
after the first "word", the simplest is to require only this word and
accept everything else. Therefore, this boils down to a line that begins
with a letter or underscore (optionally preceded by the C++ scope
operator '::' to accept functions returning a type anchored at the
global namespace). Replace the second and third part by a single pattern
that picks such a line.
This has the following desirable consequence:
- All constructs mentioned above are recognized.
and the following likely desirable consequences:
- Definitions of global variables and typedefs are recognized:
int num_entries = 0;
extern const char* help_text;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring;
- Commonly used marco-ized boilerplate code is recognized:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCanvas,CWnd)
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyStruct)
PATTERNS("tex",...)
(The last one is from this very patch.)
but also the following possibly undesirable consequence:
- When a label is not on a line by itself (except for a comment) it is
no longer rejected, but can appear as a hunk header if it occurs at
the beginning of a line:
next:;
IMO, the benefits of the change outweigh the (possible) regressions by a
large margin.

There is one subtlety: The old test case 'perl pattern gets full line of
